For more than 20 years, artist Anaitté Vaccaro has merged technology, storytelling, and design to create deeply engaging art experiences for communities, corporations, and individuals worldwide. Her work spans immersive multimedia, architectural installations, and interactive public art that blends narrative, sustainability, and innovation.
With a background in digital media and environmental design, Anaitté’s career has been defined by a passion for connection—between people, spaces, and stories.

The Perennials at Downtown Largo: Sculpting with Solar and Story
A key example of Anaitté’s work is The Perennials at Downtown Largo, part of a global 100-edition art series that transforms recycled plastics into solar-powered public sculptures. Each sculpture is site-specific and reflects local stories, designed to enhance community areas while embodying sustainable values.
In Downtown Largo, these floral-inspired sculptures brighten the urban environment both visually and literally. Stand-alone solar-powered sculptures embedded with patented Power Leaf panels offer a fusion of form and function—providing colorful lighting, device charging, and smart-city features like foot-traffic counting and interactive storytelling. By day and night, they serve as civic gathering points that illuminate, inspire, and connect. The Perennials seamlessly unite art, sustainability, and infrastructure in a way that’s interactive, serviceable, and visually enriching.
At its core, The Perennials celebrates renewal—of materials, energy, and place. Built to endure, the artwork offers more than temporary aesthetics. It provides meaningful infrastructure rooted in environmental responsibility.
Colors That Endure: Partnering with Mold In Graphic Systems®
To achieve durable, long-lasting color on the recycled plastic forms, Anaitté collaborated with Mold In Graphic Systems® tapping into their industry-leading Polymer Fusion Color Systems.
Unlike traditional paint or coatings, these advanced color systems are chemically fused directly into the plastic surface. This means the color becomes a part of the material itself—resistant to peeling, chipping, or fading even under intense UV, weather, or wear from public interaction.
Key benefits of the MIGS® Color Systems used include:
- Permanent color integration for extreme durability indoors or outdoors
- Consistent, vivid pigmentation without surface degradation
- Maintenance-free performance, ideal for public environments
- Environmentally friendly chemistry, aligning with Anaitte’s sustainable focus
These color technologies allowed Anaitté to maintain her creative vision while ensuring the sculptures would continue to look vibrant and compelling for years to come. In essence, the partnership with MIGS® helped reinforce the artwork’s message: that beauty, sustainability, and functionality can coexist in public space.
Conclusion: Art That Lives in the World
Anaitté’s work with The Perennials at Downtown Largo is a testament to her long-standing mission: to create art that lives, interacts, and endures. With recycled materials, solar innovation, and color systems designed to last, her installations do more than beautify—they contribute meaningfully to the infrastructure and identity of a place.
